Field Service Diesel Mechanic (Roadside Breakdowns)

You'll service and repair heavy diesel vehicles for the truck dealership workshop in Bethlehem. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is in Bethlehem (Free State). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• Fault-find AdBlue and aftertreatment systems on newer engines
• Carry out pre-roadworthy checks before the vehicle goes for COF testing
• Record parts used and hours worked on the fleet system
• Attend roadside breakdowns in the service truck
• Overhaul brake systems, including air valves, chambers and slack adjusters
• Diagnose electronic engine faults with a heavy-duty diagnostic laptop

• Experience with electronic diagnostics on modern diesel engines
• At least 3 years on heavy commercial vehicles or plant
• Willing to do standby and roadside call-outs
• Diesel mechanic trade test certificate
• Solid understanding of air brake systems
• Physically fit for work under trucks and on pits

• Provident fund and funeral cover
• Overtime available most weeks
• Standby and call-out allowance
• Heavy-duty tools supplied by the workshop

• Mention roadside or field experience. Many fleets need mechanics who can work alone at a breakdown.
• Your Code 14 is a big plus. Put it right below your name, not at the bottom of the CV.
